Pakistan Outspends India 3:1 on US Lobbying for Influence

Pakistan is spending a lot more money than India to talk to important people in the US government.

They are paying companies to help them get access to the White House and Congress.

Pakistan is hoping to improve its image and get the US to pay attention to things like investing in their resources.

India is also trying to do the same thing, but they're spending less money.

Both countries want to influence how the US sees them and the issues they care about.

Lobbying companies help create narratives and manage reputations.

Pakistan’s larger spending could make it more challenging for India.
